Sony has another big game sale underway for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 owners, offering some major game titles with major discounts. The sale is available to all PlayStation owners, but PlayStation Plus subscribers get greater discounts than non-subscribers. The sale includes Battlefield 1, God of War and more.
Sony definitely took a risk by launching a console-based VR headset, but it seems that PlayStation VR is doing pretty well for itself. The company announced today that PSVR has hit a pretty big milestone, with 3 million units sold around the world. That isn't too shabby at all, and it's probably better than Sony expected at first.
It’s that time of year again. New Android version, new guessing and then waiting game for which phones will get the update and, just as importantly, when. Things have gotten better over the years, in no small part thanks to high-profile security scares and Apple gloating, but it’s far from being ideal. Ideally, that would be when lists like this will be superfluous. But until that glorious day, here are some of the smartphone makers who have gone public about their love for Pie and those that have been unsurprisingly yet annoyingly silent for the past weeks.
Sony's aversion to allowing cross-platform compatibility in games that release for the PS4 has been a source of frustration for a lot of gamers, but now one publisher is laying down an ultimatum. Bethesda is gearing up to launch its free-to-play card game, The Elder Scrolls: Legends, on console, and it seems to be saying that a PS4 release won't happen if Sony doesn't start playing nice with other platforms.
Sony's unusual Digital Paper, a 13.3-inch tablet that pairs an e-paper touchscreen with a digital pen, has seen a rare discount ahead of back-to-school season. Announced earlier this year, the second-generation Sony tablet - DPT-RP1 - targets those who want to take their notes digitally, but much prefer the reading and writing experience of paper.
Every new Android version kicks off two guessing games. The first is at the start of the development cycle when users try to guess which sweet dessert the release will be named after. The second is when the final version is finally formally launched. That’s when users start guessing when and if their precious smartphone is actually eligible for the update. To help make their customers guess less, some manufacturers have chimed in, publicly committing to bringing Android 9 Pie to at least some of their latest devices “soon”.
The PlayStation brand has been around for almost 24 years at this point, and in that time, Sony has sold a lot of consoles - more than 500 million, in fact. To put a finer point on it, Sony has sold 525.3 million PlayStation consoles around the world, which is no small task. To celebrate this milestone, the company is launching a translucent blue PlayStation 4 Pro, with a lineup of matching accessories to go along with it.
God of War is one of the best games on the PS4, but once you complete it, there isn't much reason to play through it again unless you're trying to beat it on a harder difficulty. While that might be enough for some folks, others might be tempted back with New Game Plus mode, which allows you to start over from the beginning with all of your equipment and upgrades. Today, Sony Santa Monica revealed when New Game Plus will arrive, and it's going to be here in just a couple of weeks.
Daybreak Games' battle royale title H1Z1 is now available for everyone on the PlayStation 4. The title originally launched on the console as a beta, having been one of the earliest battle royale games before Fortnite blasted past it and PUBG. Daybreak announced the official launch today, saying that the open beta is now over.
HyperX has launched a new gaming headset designed specifically for the PlayStation 4 console. The product is officially licensed by Sony, according to the company, which promises a high level of comfort and quality. Unlike many competing headsets, the latest HyperX Cloud model features a detachable microphone, enabling users to remove the extension when they only need game audio.
Sony has launched its new Master Series 4K HDR TV lineup, offering two models under it: the A9F and Z9F televisions. Both models feature the maker's Picture Processor X1 Ultimate, as well as a feature called Netflix Calibrated Mode. With this, Sony's TVs work to optimize Netflix content so that it offers "the same picture quality as a studio evaluation master."
Sony has release a couple of trailers for Venom so far, and with each new one, we learn a little more about the movie. In the last trailer, we finally got to see what Venom will look and sound like, but this time around, he gets a lot more screen time. He isn't alone, either, as this trailer shows us that Venom isn't the only symbiote roaming the streets.
